Tumblr Writing Prompt: "Have fun. Use a condom."


Have Fun!

Steve felt uncomfortable as he sat in the living area of the Avengers Tower in his plaid shirt and jeans, feeling like Tony was plotting something. Why couldn't Natasha hurry so they could just... leave?

"So... Where will you go?" Tony asked out of the blue, breaking the silence that was hanging in the air between them. He tried to sound casual, but Steve knew that Tony was only searching for an opportunity to place one of his usual remarks.

"Cinema," Steve replied shortly, shifting around on the couch and glancing at the elevator with a hopeful expression.

"Ah, nice. Which movie?"

"We haven't decided yet..."

"Hmm, okay... Dinner?" Tony continued, a small smile showing on his lips, and Steve could easily tell that he liked this situation. He knew exactly how he could tease Steve without saying anything.

"No... uh... maybe drinks, afterwards," he mumbled, and assumed that this was how a teenager had to feel upon taking his date to prom and meeting her father. Relief flooded through him as Natasha stepped out of the elevator, wearing a casual white and blue dress and a smile. She looked beautiful, and for a moment, he forgot that Tony was in the room too.

"You look wonderful," he said with a slightly dopey smile, and Natasha beamed at him, her beauty nearly sweeping him off his feet.

"Thank you, Steve. Shall we go?"

"Y-yes, of course," Steve stuttered and offered her his arm, feeling a tingle run through his arm as she took it. Before they entered the elevator, Natasha turned around to Tony, who was still sitting on the couch, a smug grin on his face.

"Have a nice evening, Tony."

"You too, guys. Have fun. Use a condom!" He yelled after them, and Steve blushed heavily as the elevator doors closed.
